[amsat-bb] WISP

[Jeff kb2m]

Well that sucks. Reid, you are correct I just upgraded the main computer 
down here to WIN10., and there was a recent WIN10 upgrade. I found I had 
to delete the reg entries for Falconsat-3 before I could get WISP to 
allow me to redo the Falconsat-3 entry. Just worked a pass, and it 
appears to be running properly. Thanks...
